Faculty Approaches to Vocat, presenters, Lauren Aydinliyim, Narendra Paul Loomba Department of Management, and Craig Stone, Center for Teaching and Learning
Vocat, Baruch’s multimedia uploading and assessment platform, has been used in many ways to facilitate distance learning. In this webinar, Prof. Aydinliyim of the Narendra Paul Loomba Department of Management will discuss how she has used Vocat both to distribute her own content and to accept student submissions. Craig Stone of the CTL will then demonstrate how to set up your course in Vocat for these uses. For more about this event and others, visit: https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/ctl/events/.

12:15 PM-1:45 PM
DELTA Seminar: I am and I am not: Founders’ responses to the multiple meanings of ‘entrepreneur’, presenter, Heather Vough, George Mason University
Prof. Vough presents her paper, “I am and I am not: Founders’ responses to the multiple meanings of ‘entrepreneur.’” Abstract: While the term ‘entrepreneur’ is popular, due to its multiple possible meanings, both scholars and practitioners have struggled to define the term. In this study, we examine how this multiplicity of meanings and resultant ambiguity impacts entrepreneurs themselves. We use a grounded theory approach and draw on interviews with founders in Canada, the United States, and Australia to understand these implications. Presented by the Narendra Paul Loomba Department of Management. For the Zoom link and a copy of the working paper, email Prof. Lauren Aydinliyim.

Wednesday, September 23

Weissman Center International Business Seminar, presenter, Jei Bai, Harvard Kennedy School

2:00 PM-3:30 PM – CENTER FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
Tool Test Session
This session will allow you to test a tech tool for your online classes with other faculty members. Rather than a workshop with an “expert” facilitator who will explain uses of various tools, this is a space for participants to test something out together. Please note that we estimate the preparation before this session to involve between 30-60 minutes of work. Please visit https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/ctl/event/7137/ for more information. ZOOM LINK: https://baruch.zoom.us/j/93338948387
